How a $5,000 visa case walks away
Sunday evening. You're watching a movie with your family.
7:30 PM
H-1B visa inquiry submitted
A software engineer's employer just filed for H-1B sponsorship and he needs legal representation. He wants an attorney who understands tech industry immigration. Engagement: $4,000–$6,000.
7:32 PM
Same inquiry sent to 3 firms
He found 3 immigration attorneys with good reviews. He's anxious — the filing deadline is in 3 weeks.
7:38 PM
Competitor responds
An immigration attorney got a text notification, saw the prospect's employer (major tech company) and LinkedIn, and called back: 'I've handled dozens of H-1B cases for engineers at companies like yours.'
7:55 PM
Retainer signed
The competitor quoted $5,000. The prospect paid immediately — he couldn't risk missing the deadline. One less thing to worry about.
Monday 9:15 AM
You see the inquiry
14 hours late. He's already retained counsel. The $5,000 engagement — plus potential follow-on green card work ($8K+) — went to a faster firm.
$5,000
One H-1B case. Gone. And the green card filing that would have followed it? That's another $8,000.
Immigration law-specific challenges
02
Language barriers increase anxiety

03
High fraud risk requires qualification
Immigration law attracts fraudulent inquiries from notarios and scammers. You need signals to identify red flags before investing consultation time on prospects who aren't legitimate.
